Some schools will want the application to be complete before they will let your child have an interview, while others do not. You should call to ask the school.
It is always better to have an interview. I really suggest it because it shows how much you want to go to the school.
我个人申请的时候面试没有特别的要求啊,只要填过那个inquiry form 就可以约时间面试,跟先递材料还是后递材料没什么关系,而且有几所学校还说要等到面试之后才会看申请材料。但是既然上面的老师专家都这样说,还是开学后先跟想去的每个学校联系问清楚,每个学校都不一样。
如果之前参观过了学校,面试的时候多数可以选择网络面试或者就近由毕业生面试,但有些走读学校不可以,一定要求到学校面试的。
